Five minutes later...

Isaac: "Who was screaming like a fucking coward?"

Everyone has reunited at base.

Zack: "It was Alphonse."

Alphonse: "Ever had both of your arms dislocated?"

A lot of them are badly injured.

Lariat: "But what were those things?"

People like Jack and Rox are set against the wall.

Jason: "Can I get an explanation first?"

Everyone awkwardly notices the newcomers.

Alexis: "Explain then speculate."

They all begin yet another confusing monologue.

However...

Horus: "So that program is a bust."

Horus is currently tweaking Dimension Leap as an attendant informs Horus about the recent failure.

Horus: "Dismissed."

The attendant leaves.

Horus: "Now comes the tricky part."

Horus wipes some sweat away as Brim and Austin enter the room.

Austin: "How are your improvements coming along?"

Horus: "Not much longer."

Dr. Brim: "Then we'll get to kick their asses again soon?"

Horus: "There's a problem."

Austin: "Problem?"

Horus turns to face the two.

Horus: "They're coming straight to here."

Dr. Brim: "Say what now?"

Horus: "That ragtag force is going to set out towards us in four or five days."

Austin: "How do you know?"

Horus turns away.

Horus: "Just a hunch."

Meanwhile...

Xaena: "O-Okay."

Everything has been explain and speculation has begun.

Lucas: "Now time for us to question what happened to those soldiers."

James: "Actually, I've got the answer."

Jeremy and Jake have begun taking care of the injured.

Connor: "Like actually?"

James: "When I was locating the weakness, I discovered that their weak spot was a leak in energy signatures like a strange mix of ours."

Roy: "So super steroids?"

Randy: "Sounds about right."

Max: "Created by the blood of our enemies, probably."

Awkward moment of silence...

Edo: "You're not wrong."

Ike: "Probably."

Jacob and Kyle are beginning to crack.

Jacob: "(laughing) Please stop!"

Kyle: "(laughing) We don't need another running gag!"

BroBot: "XD."

Owen: "What was the first?"

Bryant and Tyler join in..

Tyler: "(laughing) Really?"

Bryant: "(laughing) Accept it you cowards!"

Soon, no one can contain the laughs.

Diane: "(laughing) Why are we laughing at something so stupid?"

Dominic: "(laughing) When was the last time any of us here had a good laugh?"

Jade: "(laughing) Probably forever ago!"

Sadly, the critically injured are unconscious.

Chloe: "(calming down) Okay, okay, deep breaths."

Everyone adjusts themselves to calm down.

Faith: "So what're we going to do?"

Dr. LeeAnn: "Finish our device."

Alphonse looks towards one of the buildings.

Yukiko: "Then you'll need to pick up the pace!"

Alphonse: "We're on it!"

The three mechanics enter the building.

Micheal: "Meanwhile, we'll probably-"

Shoma: "Please don't."

Awkward moment of silence...

Cereza: "I'll be somewhere."

Cereza heads for the shadow of another building.

Dawn: "Ready for round seventeen?"

Jay begins to crack his knuckles.

Jay: "You're on!"

Jake and Jeremy finish healing.

Jeremy: "I'll go watch."

Jeremy follows Jay and Dawn.

Jake: "I'll just watch some-"

Jacob: "-anime."

The anime fans follow Jake into a building.

Spencer: "So uh..."

The others have already gone elsewhere except Tori.

Tori: "Let's go do whatever."

The remaining try to find something to do...
